Qi Manlin was dragged out like a dead dog, a white towel pressed over her mouth, immediately inhaling a strange scent, causing her to drift into unconsciousness!

A few men lifted Qi Manlin and placed her in a car. As the door closed, the car sped away, leaving behind a phone on the ground from which a man's voice was emanating, "Hello, hello..."

On the other side, Lin Mu answered the call, calling out several times, but there was no response. Lin Mu stared at the phone, which was still connected, but silent!

Oh no! Chief Police Officer must be in trouble! At this moment, Lin Mu's Seventh Sense was sending strong danger warnings, and a scene seemed to appear in his mind: a group of men surrounding the frail Qi Manlin, locking her hands behind forcibly, sealing her mouth with tape, and taking her to a dark place...

Lin Mu immediately thought of Xiong Xiaoxiao; only she could ascertain Qi Manlin's location at such a time, so Lin Mu made a call.

Xiong Xiaoxiao answered, "Hello, Brother Lin, what's up?"

"Xiaoxiao, Chief Police Officer is in trouble. You know her number, right? Check where this phone is right now?"

"Okay, Brother Lin."

A moment later, Xiong Xiaoxiao's voice came through Lin Mu's phone, "North of the traffic lights on Zhen'an Road, Jin Xia District. You should go check it out. It seems close to the police station. I'll call 110 for you."

"Thanks, Xiaoxiao, I'm heading there now!" Lin Mu replied.

After hanging up, Lin Mu grabbed his car keys and rushed out.

"Brother Lin, what's up?" As soon as he left the Lin Family Mansion, he bumped into Xia Yuyi returning from outside.

"I have something to handle, you go back first!" Lin Mu didn't waste time, ran to the car, and got in.

Just as Lin Mu got in the car, the front passenger door opened, and Xia Yuyi followed him in.

"Yuyi, why are you coming along? I have something to do." Lin Mu said, looking at Xia Yuyi in the passenger seat.

"I'm going with you!" Xia Yuyi said, firmly seated. Without asking what it was about, her demeanor was authoritative, but seeing Lin Mu's serious expression, it was clear something had happened.

Time was tight now, so Lin Mu didn't say much to Xia Yuyi but started the car and sped towards Jin Xia District. Ten minutes later, Lin Mu drove to the north of the traffic lights on Zhen'an Road. From a distance, he could see police lights flashing, confirming that someone had reported the incident!

Driving up to the police car, Lin Mu parked and got out with Xia Yuyi. Next to the police car, several policemen were taking photos, and some were questioning passersby, probably eyewitnesses.

Since Lin Mu often went to the police station, several officers knew him and were aware of his unusual relationship with Qi Manlin!

"Brother Lin!" Several officers under Qi Manlin greeted him as they approached.

Lin Mu nodded, "What's going on exactly?"

"Brother Lin, Director Qi seems to have been kidnapped. The car window glass has clearly been smashed with a hard object!" a young officer reported.

Lin Mu's facial muscles twitched, "Any leads?"

The young officer shook his head, "No direct leads for now. If we need technical verification, it might take a few days!"

"A few days?" Lin Mu couldn't help but raise his voice. Damn, in a few days, everything will be too late!

Given the current situation, Qi Manlin's kidnapping is likely related to Chen Zhengrong, but since Chen Zhengrong decided to kidnap Qi Manlin, he must have been thoroughly prepared. Finding Chen Zhengrong now might not even be possible!

Wancheng is so big that it's easy to hide someone, but Lin Mu's worry isn't about Chen Zhengrong hiding Qi Manlin, but rather that he might harm her. In this case, since Chen Zhengrong chose to kidnap Qi Manlin, he must be desperate!

Qi Manlin is a police director; Chen Zhengrong can't be unaware of the consequences of kidnapping her, yet he still did it, clearly showing reckless disregard for consequences!

Of course, Wancheng's police can certainly find Qi Manlin, but it would take a long time—fear is that it might be too late by then! Even the always composed Lin Mu couldn't stay calm, pacing anxiously, extremely frustrated. Chen Zhengrong's motive for capturing Qi Manlin is straightforward: he wants to rescue Liu Zecheng, but Lin Mu knows Qi Manlin's personality better. She definitely won't yield to Chen Zhengrong!

This means Qi Manlin is in danger. Hopefully, Qi Manlin will be clever, avoiding direct conflict with Chen Zhengrong. Simultaneously, Lin Mu had to figure out a way to quickly find Qi Manlin's location! Although Lin Mu had a powerful Seventh Sense, enabling him to sense the presence of close friends or acquaintances nearby, Wancheng's vastness made his Sensing Ability inadequate!

Currently, there were no leads on Qi Manlin. Her phone was on the ground, making her location traceable with any means! Searching aimlessly without locating Qi Manlin was futile!

Amid Lin Mu's mixed emotions, his phone rang in his pocket. Lin Mu quickly took it out, realizing it was an unknown number!

"Hello, where have you taken Qi Manlin?" Lin Mu directly questioned upon answering.

A laughter came through the phone, the voice altered by special processing, "Heh heh, Qi Manlin wasn't grabbed by me, but by Chen Zhengrong's people. However, I know where she is now!"

"Where?"

"In a mansion owned by Chen Zhengrong in East City, at No. 18 Binhe Road!" the man on the phone said.

"Who are you?" Lin Mu inquired.

"Heh heh, there's no need for you to know who I am. You'd better hurry to rescue Qi Manlin, or something bad might happen!" The man chuckled and hung up.

Lin Mu looked at the hung-up call, redialed, but the number was already turned off!

"Was it someone from Chen Zhengrong's side?" Xia Yuyi asked.

Lin Mu shook his head, "No, just an unidentified person!"

"An unidentified person?"

"Yes, I suspect it was the same person from last time. I'm curious why this person is continually helping me in secret, or perhaps they're closely monitoring Chen Zhengrong, indirectly assisting us!" Lin Mu remarked, puzzled.

"Could it be your friend?"

"Impossible. If it were a friend, they wouldn't stay hidden. But this person is meticulous about concealing their identity. There's no guessing who they are!" Lin Mu stated.

"As long as they mean no harm, it's good. We should focus on rescuing Sister Manlin as soon as possible!" Xia Yuyi urged.
